Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Choctaw County, Alabama: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you’re reading this from Butler, Gilbertown, Needham, or anywhere across our 1,250 square miles of timberland and red dirt roads, you already know something most city folks don’t: when you live in Choctaw County, you learn to solve problems yourself. When the nearest specialist is an hour and a half away in Meridian or Mobile, when the pharmacy in town doesn’t carry what you need, when the pain from years of mill work or timber cutting keeps you up at night—you figure things out.

We get it. We built OilWell Cannabis for exactly those moments.

This is the most complete, honest, and scientifically grounded RSO guide you’ll find anywhere online—whether you’re in Choctaw County, Alabama, or anywhere else on Earth. We’re not here to sell you hope. We’re here to give you the information you need to decide if our RSO formulas are right for you, your family, or someone you love who’s fighting cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, or the kind of desperate insomnia that comes from worrying about making ends meet in a county where economic opportunity has been scarce for decades.

We chose to introduce ourselves to Choctaw County because we believe rural Alabama deserves the same access to research-backed cannabinoid medicine that Houston’s Texas Medical Center patients have—without needing to drive to Tuscaloosa or cross state lines to buy something that might not even be what it claims.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: What Choctaw County Needs to Know

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from the same kind of working-class background that built Choctaw County’s timber industry. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Canada, suffered a serious head injury, and developed persistent tinnitus and dizziness that his doctors couldn’t fix. The prescription drugs made things worse. Cannabis helped, but his doctor refused to discuss it—so Simpson taught himself.

In 2003, he was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on his arm. He applied concentrated cannabis oil to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and claimed they disappeared in four days. No biopsy confirmation, no independent medical verification—just his personal testimony. But that testimony sparked a global movement.

Important context for our neighbors in Choctaw County: Simpson’s story is powerful because it mirrors what many of you have experienced—being let down by a medical system that doesn’t have all the answers, especially for rural patients who can’t afford to see specialists. His experience resonates in a county where the nearest cancer center is a two-hour drive away. But his story is personal testimony, not medical evidence. We honor his contribution while holding ourselves to stricter scientific standards.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: Why We’re Different

Simpson’s famous protocol called for consuming 60 grams of oil over 90 days, starting with a dose the size of half a grain of rice and escalating to a full gram per day. At peak dosing, that meant 600-900 milligrams of delta-9 THC daily—far beyond anything studied in controlled clinical settings.

Why this matters for Choctaw County: We know folks down here are used to doing things the hard way—working through pain, pushing through exhaustion. But consuming that much THC daily carries real risks: severe anxiety, panic, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder, and dangerous impairment. For someone driving Highway 17 to work at the mill or picking up kids from Choctaw County High School, that level of impairment isn’t just risky—it’s life-threatening.

Our formulas are designed differently. We deliver 553 milligrams of total cannabinoids per milliliter across seven distinct compounds, with only 90 milligrams of delta-9 THC in the entire bottle. You get the therapeutic potential without the overwhelming psychoactivity Simpson’s protocol demanded.

Traditional RSO vs. Our Modern Formula: A Choctaw County Comparison

Our Story: Why a Houston Company Cares About Choctaw County

From McAllen to Montrose to Mobile

Our founder Colin Valencia grew up in McAllen, Texas—one of the most economically challenged border towns in America. He learned early what it means to live in a place where opportunity is scarce and the medical system fails working people. By sixteen, he’d seen friends killed or imprisoned. He left home because staying meant becoming another statistic.

That same desperation for solutions—paired with a refusal to give up—is what brought him to cannabis. But what truly launched OilWell wasn’t a business plan; it was a dog named Bentley.

The Dog Who Changed Everything

Bentley was Colin’s companion through the hardest years. When veterinarians said Bentley’s paralysis meant euthanasia was the only option, Colin said no. He created a CBD golden paste that got Bentley up and walking again. That dog lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty, while Colin spent a decade perfecting cannabinoid formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced—neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, crippling arthritis.

Why this matters in Choctaw County: We know you love your animals. We know a good hunting dog or a loyal farm dog is family. Bentley taught us that cannabinoids work when pharmaceuticals fail—and that multi-cannabinoid synergy matters more than any single compound. That’s why our RSO contains seven cannabinoids instead of just CBD or THC.

Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD and Benzo Addiction

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with severe PTSD and Xanax addiction. When he decided to quit benzos cold turkey—a dangerous, brutal process—he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley to save himself. Our Peace Gummies were born from midnight experiments during benzo withdrawal. Colin still uses the vape form for insomnia and PTSD symptoms.

If you’re a veteran in Choctaw County dealing with trauma, if you’re tapering off prescriptions that never worked right, if you’re a caregiver watching someone suffer—Colin has been there. This isn’t corporate marketing. This is lived experience turned into medicine.

The Science Behind Every Drop: What Each Cannabinoid Does

CBD (4,500mg) – The Foundation

CBD has the strongest human evidence in our formula. The FDA-approved Epidiolex (pure CBD) has proven effective for rare seizure disorders. For Choctaw County residents dealing with chronic pain from years of physical labor, a 2024 systematic review found promising but heterogeneous results—CBD may help, but quality varies dramatically between products. That’s why we use precise, tested amounts.

For anxiety, a 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant anxiolytic effects. In a county where mental health resources are stretched thin and stigma runs deep, this matters.

CBG (3,000mg) – The Neuroprotector

CBG is the “mother cannabinoid”—the precursor to THC and CBD. Preclinical studies show potential for neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory bowel conditions, and antibacterial activity. For our older neighbors in Choctaw County facing dementia or Parkinson’s, CBG offers hope where big pharma has failed. But we’re honest: human trials are still limited. We include it because the pharmacology is compelling and Bentley’s decade-long journey proved its value in real life.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) – The Gentle Workhorse

Delta-8 THC is psychoactive but less intense than delta-9. For Choctaw County residents needing pain relief but wary of being “too high to function,” delta-8 offers a middle ground. A 2022 review confirmed it has cannabimimetic activity—real effects, real medicine. But we also acknowledge the 2023 public health review that flagged adverse events and quality concerns. That’s why we test every batch. No mystery solvents. No unknown contaminants.

THCa (1,500mg) – Your Controlled Potency

This is where our formula revolutionizes access. THCa is the raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. In its natural state, it provides anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotection via PPARγ pathways—perfect for daytime use when you need to stay sharp running equipment, driving county roads, or caring for livestock.

But heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and 1,500mg of THCa converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the 90mg already in the bottle, you get roughly 1,405mg of activated THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but 100% legal because YOU control the activation.

For Choctaw County: This means you can buy our product legally, keep it raw for daytime use, and decarb only what you need for nighttime relief. No medical card. No driving to Montgomery. No legal risk.

Delta-9 THC (90mg) – The Legal Threshold

We include only 90mg total delta-9 THC in the entire bottle—well under the 0.3% Farm Bill limit. This keeps the product legal to ship directly to your door in Choctaw County. For cancer patients seeking the full Simpson protocol, decarboxylating the THCa gives you the potency you need while staying within federal law at the point of sale.

CBN (750mg) – The Sleep Molecule

Marketed everywhere as the “sleep cannabinoid,” but the evidence is thinner than most companies admit. A 2021 review found NO clinical trials using validated sleep measures. However, at 750mg in our formula (25mg per mL at full dose), you’re getting amounts that exceed thresholds associated with reduced sleep disturbance in early research. For Choctaw County residents whose minds race at night worrying about bills, crops, or health, CBN may help—just know the science is still catching up.

CBC (750mg) – The Emerging Protector

Cannabichromene shows promise for neurogenesis, pain, and inflammation in preclinical studies. It’s the most understudied cannabinoid in our formula, but its pharmacology is distinct enough that we believe it contributes to the entourage effect. We’re not overstating—just being transparent about why it’s there.

Terpenes: The Choctaw County Forest in Every Bottle

Our 5% live terpene blend includes seven compounds that give our RSO its complex aroma and potential synergistic effects:

• Limonene: Citrus-bright notes that may elevate mood. Think of peeling oranges from the grove down in Mobile—the same uplifting scent.
• Myrcene: Earthy, musky undertones. Common in mangoes and hops, may enhance relaxation.
• Caryophyllene: Peppery spice that directly activates CB2 receptors—unique among terpenes. This is the same compound that gives black pepper its bite.
• Pinene: Forest-fresh scent reminiscent of Choctaw County’s pine forests. May support alertness and counteract some THC effects.
• Linalool: Floral lavender notes for calm. Grows wild across Alabama.
• Humulene: Woody, earthy tones. Also found in hops.
• Terpinolene: Complex piney-fruity scent that ties it all together.

The honest truth: Terpene claims are ahead of the evidence. While preclinical studies show promise, human trials are limited. We include them because they make the product experience richer and the entourage effect plausible—not because we can promise specific outcomes.

How to Use Our RSO in Choctaw County

Three Ways to Activate Your Medicine

Option 1: Raw (Non-Psychoactive)
Perfect for daytime use. Place 0.3-0.5mL under your tongue in the morning before heading to the mill or farm. No high. Just anti-inflammatory support to get through a 10-hour shift.

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarb)
For nighttime cancer protocol or severe pain. Heat 1mL in an oven-safe glass dish at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. This converts THCa to THC. Take before bed. Expect psychoactive effects—plan accordingly.

Option 3: Vape (Instant Relief)
For breakthrough pain, panic attacks, or nausea. Each puff delivers 1-2mg of decarboxylated cannabinoids within 1-2 minutes. Keep it in your truck or toolbox for emergencies.

Alabama Legal Framework: How We Ship to Choctaw County

Farm Bill Compliance

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in 30mL—well under the limit. This means we can legally ship directly to your address in Butler, Lisman, or any unincorporated area of Choctaw County.

Important for Alabama residents: Alabama’s medical cannabis program (SB 46) is still rolling out. Dispensaries are limited to a few locations, none in Choctaw County. Our product requires no medical card. If you’re 21+, you can order today.

THCa: The Legal Loophole That Isn’t a Loophole

THCa is not delta-9 THC. It’s the raw, acidic form. Our product is legal at purchase. When YOU heat it at home, it converts. This is chemistry, not a legal trick. Alabama law focuses on delta-9 THC content at point of sale—so you’re compliant.

Drug Testing Warning

If you decarb or vape our product, you WILL test positive for THC. The raw form may avoid detection, but any activation triggers positive results. If you work for a timber company, the school system, or any employer with zero-tolerance policies, use the raw form only or discuss with HR.

Safety First: Choctaw County Realities

Common-Sense Precautions

• Don’t drive impaired. Choctaw County roads are dangerous enough without adding impairment. Our raw form is non-psychoactive—use it if you need to operate machinery.
• Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25mL. Wait 2-3 hours. Assess. Our graduated dropper makes this easy.
• Child safety. Keep all products locked away from children. The bright packaging can attract kids.
• Pregnancy & nursing. Not recommended. Talk to Dr. McCool at Choctaw County Hospital if you have questions.
• Drug interactions. CBD can affect liver enzymes. If you’re taking prescriptions (especially for blood pressure, diabetes, or pain), consult your doctor or pharmacist at Fred’s in Butler.

Quality Assurance

Every batch is third-party tested for:

• Cannabinoid potency (±2% accuracy)
• Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
• 400+ pesticides
• Residual solvents
• Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

Certificates of Analysis available on our website or by calling (832) 416-2816.

Why We Can’t Offer Same-Day Delivery to Alabama (Yet)

Our same-day delivery is Houston-only. For Alabama, we rely on USPS. But here’s what that means for you: we can reach places the Texas dispensary model can’t. You don’t need to drive to Montgomery or Birmingham. You don’t need a medical card. The product comes to you.

International Shipping Note

Our Open-Source Promise to Choctaw County

If You Can’t Afford It, Make It

We publish our complete formulas publicly—every milligram, every percentage. If $129.99 is out of reach (and we know that’s real money in Choctaw County), you can source individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own version. We’ll even help you find suppliers.

This is our echo of Rick Simpson’s original ethos—he gave his oil away for free. We can’t do that at scale, but we can give you the recipe.

The Golden Paste Recipe

Here’s the formula that saved Bentley, published for free:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• CBD oil (dose per your pet’s weight)

Instructions: Mix turmeric and water over low heat until paste forms (7-10 minutes). Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool, store in fridge for 2 weeks. Mix with pet’s food.

Use this for your hunting dogs, farm dogs, or family pets. It works.
